Glucan degradation

Dependent on the respective cereals processed, different contents of glucans, hemicelluloses and pentosans are released, lead to an increase in viscosity in the mash and consequently to a deterioration in the fermentation performance of the yeast. This is why these substances are split into low-molecular fragments.


 

Distizym® BETA-G
A special enzyme for application in alcohol production for the degradation of beta-glucan and pentosan in starch-containing mashes. Produced from a selected strain of Trichoderma longibrachiatum. The main enzyme activity is based on a thermo-tolerant beta-glucanase.

 
Distizym® GL
A special enzyme which is applied during alcohol production for pentosan and ß-glucan degradation in starch-containing mashes from rye. The enzyme is produced from a genetically modified strain of Trichoderma reesei.
